Journalist Jillian Keenan has argued that spanking fetishism is a form of sexual orientation, which should not be considered a mental illness. Whilst there has been an increasing ability to talk openly about erotic spanking within mainstream society, individuals may still find it difficult to express that they have an interest in erotic spanking.
I concur that BDSM or sub-categories of it (Traditional Spanking, Domestic Discipline, etc.) are indeed their own unique form of sexual orientation, the same as any other sexual act is. The notion that it is a "mental illness" speaks to the ignorance of the people that ever placed it into some stupid DSM diagnosis or agenda...how they used to with gay people.
Christian domestic discipline (CDD) promotes spanking of wives by their husbands as a form of punishment. While its advocates rely on Biblical interpretations to support the practice, advocates for victims of domestic violence describe CDD as a form of abuse and controlling behavior. Others describe the practice as a simple sexual fetish and an outlet for sadomasochistic desires.
The aforementioned "advocates" have no concept of consensual power exchange, nor do they seem to allow for the autonomy of women to make choices in their own lives. If adult women need a "minder" of the politically correct variety to tell them what they can and can not do, what they can enjoy, doesn't that negate the feminist agenda of empowering women for personal freedom and accountability? Yes, yes it does.
